BRECKENRIDGE, Colo. – After a falling on double McTwist 1260 his first run, Shaun White landed the same trick to cap off his second run and finish second at the Dew Tour iON Mountain Championships on Saturday.

White's second run scored a 90.4, a point behind winner Greg Bretz, after falling on his first run. American Taylor Gold took third. The competition is one of five selection events the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association will use to pick the Olympic team.

White fell late in his run with the front of his body hitting the left pipe wall. White was favoring his left knee and briefly had medical staff check out the knee at the base of the pipe. He said after the competition that he aggravated an old injury and would need to ice his ankle before Sunday's slopestyle final.

"I just kind of, I half-assed it is the technical term," White said of the first-run fall. "I was killing my run out. I was like, 'Wow, I'm really doing it.' And I kind of got in my head and just forgot what I was doing. I didn't take off with enough momentum off the lip and it just came around too slow. It happens."

White is the two-time defending Olympic gold medalist and six-time defending X Games gold medalist in the halfpipe.

White said the second-place finish wouldn't serve as motivation for him.

"A day like today, no. But I'm motivated already," he said. "I did some tricks in practice that I think only one guy has done before so I am pretty excited. I feel great. It's just like I said earlier, it's just building momentum."

White also qualified first in slopestyle and will compete in the final on Sunday (3 p.m. EST, NBCSN). Once dominant in that event, White took some time away to focus on halfpipe for the Vancouver Olympics.

His score of 93.2 was the best in qualifying on Friday and came without White attempting a triple cork, a now must-have trick in that event.

White trained at a private halfpipe and on slopestyle features that GoPro, a sponsor, built him in Australia this fall.
